¼ cup whole milk
⅓ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 large egg
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil

For serving

1 ½ cups marinara sauce, warmed, for serving
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and brush or drizzle the rack lightly with the olive oil.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free breadcrumbs and milk. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk and formed a paste.
